The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has disclosed that he received a briefing from the Osun State Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Gotan, alleging that some criminal suspects are being shielded at the Osun Government House.
Disu made the revelation on Friday during a meeting with Governor Ademola Adeleke, at the Government House in Osogbo.
Addressing the governor, the IGP said he had received complaints that Adeleke and some others were dissatisfied with the performance of the state Commissioner of Police.
“If I tell you, sir, that I have not had complaints, I have lied, and I will explain everything to you one by one, sir.
“I have heard that you are not happy, and some people are not happy with the Commissioner of Police for this reason and that reason,” Disu said.
The IGP, however, said the Commissioner of Police had also briefed him on allegations that some suspects wanted by the police were taking refuge in the Government House.
“He, too, has briefed me. He briefed me that some suspects he is looking for are hibernating in the Government House. I looked at that. If that is true, why should suspects be in the Government House?” he said.
Disu added that he had advised the commissioner on how to handle the matter.
“I have told him how to go about it. I have heard that this party and that party are hibernating suspects, criminals,” he added.
Responding, Adekele said he do not condone criminals and urged the police to arrest whoever is forrmenting trouble in the state.
